The court was asked to consider a five year contract to manage a pop group, in respect of which contract the manager claimed injunctive relief to prevent the group working outside the agreement.
Held: The injunction was refused. The manager was left to its prima facie claim to damages, on the ground that the contract involved obligations of trust and confidence and was more a joint venture, approaching the relationship of partnership, than anything else. He also thought that an injunction would amount to forcing the pop group to remain idle or to continue to employ in a fiduciary capacity a manager and agent in whom they ‘for reasons good, bad or indifferent’ had lost confidence ‘and who may, for all I know, fail in its duty to them’.
